- tion of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This inventionrelates to devices for supporting hose; and it consists in a novel fastening or supporting link as hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front View of the supporting link. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same. Fig. 3is a front view of the suplporting link showing it connected to a soc A is a stirrup-shaped link having at its upper end a long narrow and converging slot B for engaging with the leg of the drawers. The bar 0 at the bottom of the stirrup-shaped link is provided with a T-shaped projection cl the central stem of which joins onto the middle part of the bar 0. The top portion D of the sock is drawn through the loop of the link, as shown in Fig. 3, and is folded around and pressed into engagement with the said projection, so that portions of the fabric engage with the slots or openings 6 on each side of the central stem f and between the bare and the head of the said projection d. This holds the sock securely, and the upper end of the link A can be slipped into engagement with the leg of the drawers at any convenient point so as to keep the sock from slipping down. No band or strap is required, and the leg of the wearer is free of all constriction and pressure.

What I claim is:

A garment supporter comprising a stirrupshaped link having at one end means for engaging with a garment, and having at its other end a bar and a -T-shaped projection provided with a stem which projects from the middle part of the said bar and which forms slots for engaging with another garment;

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses. JAMES M. JOHNSON. Witnesses:
